This is so fucking relevant to me right now, just yesterday I heard a woodpecker on my walk and I made it my mission to spot it in that giant tree. Then in my later walk I saw a red cardinal. Later I was talking about how it’s kinda cheating when people pick ostrich, peacock, penguin etc as their favorite birds, and it slowly dawned on me that I’m becoming a bird guy.

My grandfather used to say if you don't learn something new each day you'll be dead by tomorrow.

I wanted to figure out the call of a bird, then I downloaded Merlin, and now I bought a 400mm lens to get sick photos of birds. What the hell happened

I'm partial to the tufted titmouse

Look, Raymond: a yellow-crested warbler.

I just put up a bird feeder, I'm doomed

It's true. As a young boy I wanted to see tits so bad but nowadays all I need is just look out the window

Yup can confirm, it's already got me lol

Apparently I was born old.

I legit can't imagine ever being indifferent to birds

also whos naming those things.

My bro killed a coyote the other day and left the carcass near our house. Now we have condors. They're so fuckin cool.

Me, except I can only identify waterfowl easily. Mostly different types of ducks.

Close. Ive been noticing more bluejays and cardinals around here the last couple years. Mockingbirds are always around but dont see them as much

I really got into it this year (early 30’s) and I am straight kicking my younger self, when I knew someone with 5 pet birds and I didn’t care!

Maybe it's the hearing loss. I can still hear birds perfectly.
